When I returned to Qingqiu Mansion, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.
The flowers in the garden are in full bloom, and the elves who have just drank their fill of nectar and dew are lying among the petals, spreading their wings and lazily enjoying the warm winter sun. Several fox maids are scattered in the garden, taking care of these delicate guys.
Zheng Qing did not see Su Ya.
This made him feel a little strange. Normally at this time, the little fox girl would be squatting in front of her viola plant, driving the captured little earth dragon to loosen the soil for it, but he didn't know why he was not there today.
Could it be that Su Shijun went out for a while and took her away with him?
When he thought of this possibility, a joy suddenly rose in the wizard's heart, and he subconsciously quickened his pace, wanting to take advantage of this time to discuss the development direction of the hunting team in the new semester with his teammates.
Unfortunately, after he stepped into the front hall, this joy disappeared and turned into very nervous. Because Su Shijun not only did not leave the mansion, but was sitting in the living room drinking tea with Jiang Yu.
There were exquisite tragedies on display. Su Ya, who was supposed to stay in the garden, was standing in the corner of the room holding a green peacock. Her body was straight, and even her tail was carefully tucked into her waist, not showing any fluff. This was the case in the past.
is extremely rare.
Zheng Qing bet that he had never seen this bird in the mansion.
The peacock was perhaps the first to notice the young public-funded student entering the house.
It stared at the wizard, and its small black bean-like eyes blinked twice. The tail feathers that had been hanging down from the little fox girl's arms suddenly raised and spread with a roar, scattering a rainbow of five colors, which happened to span the entrance of the living room, forming a
A beautiful rainbow door.
Zheng Qing was startled and couldn't help but stop.
Taking this opportunity, Su Ya raised her head, took a deep breath, and shouted: "Master Zheng Qing..."
"Okay, okay." The real owner of Qingqiu Mansion raised his hand to signal the little fox girl to shut up: "He is not the real owner... We are all acquaintances, just a little thought will be enough..."
The little fox girl shut up in disappointment.
Zheng Qing carefully stepped through the rainbow door, and then the peacock retracted its tail wings with a swish. The five-color rainbow light that diffused in the front hall suddenly disappeared, and the world seemed to have returned to the range of the wizard's cognition.
Su Shijun's subtle voice came to his ears: "This is the etiquette used by the old-school wizard family when welcoming a certain type of distinguished guests... I'm not here to welcome you, so don't look like you're about to faint."
While he was talking, a figure stood up on the large sofa with his back to the wizard.
Only then did Zheng Qing notice that there was another guest in the room.
The figure turned around, revealing gray-white hair and a slightly cold face.
"Professor Monteria?"
The wizard's tone was full of confusion, but immediately he noticed that the illusory feeling that seemed to be near but actually far around the professor was exactly the same as last year when Kolma had just advanced. He suddenly realized: "You,
Great Wizard? You have advanced?...Congratulations, congratulations...Happy New Year indeed!"
His speech was somewhat incoherent.
It’s not surprising that he was shocked, because when Zheng Qing met the magic text professor at school a few weeks ago, he was still registered as a wizard, and there were no signs of advancement. Unexpectedly, just a year later, this professor
The professor suddenly became a great wizard.
But when I think about it, it only took one night for Senior Colma to go from an ordinary registered wizard to a great wizard. Admittedly, her path was a bit wild. Using this as a reference, Professor Monteria, who is a top registered wizard, passed by
Be prepared, it seems that it is not so difficult to accept the advancement of the Grand Wizard in a short period of time.
"Happy New Year."
The professor nodded slightly and his tone was as serious as ever. I wonder if it was because he had just advanced, but Zheng Qing felt that his expression was stiffer than before: "I heard that you were attacked by a crow and may have suffered some kind of blood curse, so
The old lady of the Jiang family asked me to check it for you."
The professor's speech was as simple and direct as ever, with almost no greetings.
Hearing the words 'Old Madam of the Jiang Family', Zheng Qing couldn't help but look at Jiang Yu, and then he realized why there was another guest in the mansion present when Su Shijun met the guests.
Jiang Yu pursed her lips and said nothing.
"I'm sorry to trouble you." The wizard bowed quickly and thanked the professor, the paper bag in his hand clattering with his movements.
"What did you bring back?" Su Shijun was very interested in the paper bag he was carrying.
"Oh, this?"
The young public-funded student awkwardly raised the paper bag in his hand. Looking at the exquisite snacks and clear fruits on the coffee table, he felt a little unspeakable: "It's just a specialty of the North District... salted frog eyes, fried frog eyes, etc."
Something like that... Didn’t Senior Kolma say that its taste is difficult to describe... So I’m a little curious... I want to give Dongdong a try..."
Upon hearing the word 'dong dong', Professor Monteria's eyes moved slightly.
"Su Ya," the owner of Qingqiu Mansion nodded with satisfaction, turned around and ordered: "Take the snacks to the study and let Dongdong have a taste while he rests... You two are not allowed to finish it!"
"Eh!"
The little fox girl happily agreed. When she reached Zheng Qing's side, she suddenly remembered that there was a big peacock in her arms. She hesitated whether to put the big bird in the living room or take it away with her.
"Don't worry, it won't run around." Jiang Yu glanced at the reluctant little fox girl, paused, and added: "When you have a rest later, you can go to the garden to find it naughty."
"Okay, Miss Yu!"
Su Ya dutifully agreed, put down the peacock, took the paper bag from Zheng Qing's hand, tried her best to suppress her urge to jump, and walked out of the hall honestly.
But as soon as she turned the corner, Zheng Qing saw the tip of her tail fluttering out of her skirt when she ran away.
Unlike the little fox girl, the big peacock was more 'polite'. After being put on the ground, it did not fly around. It just shook its wings slightly and combed its feathers more neatly, and then it looked like a wealthy family.
Like a nobleman, he held his head high and his chest high, his eyes were straight, he walked slowly in the hall with small square steps, and he was even more powerful than when he was held by Su Ya.
"Hurry up."
Professor Monteria waved to Zheng Qing to come closer. At the same time, he opened the handbag placed at his feet. He first took out a pair of single-lens gold-rimmed glasses with extremely thick lenses, clamped them on his left eye, and then took out the
A stethoscope-like tool hung around the neck: "...Although I have the medical records from the school hospital, I think it is more reliable to check it in person in your case."
"Be cooperative!"
Su Shijun's subtle voice came to my ears again: "Professor Monteria is the school's expert on bloodline mutation. If anyone can find the copper bean that disappeared in your body, he has the greatest possibility... He doesn't care.
I’m here to help you because of the risk of instability in your rank after just being promoted, don’t be rude like a child!”
